I am working on my Dream Status Report for this week.

But I want to share my page from yesterday in my Dream Book 2026:

Taking Care of Myself

Letting The World Break My Heart

What is where? Like, where are the boundaries?

How do I balance these? felt like the main question as I did this.

But just a few minutes sitting with it I could see that EVERYTHING needs to be in that overlapping space between them.

I do recognize that some people are in a situation where they MUST take care of themselves and being present in the world would be too overwhelming for them. I am not saying that this is for everyone! This is MY truth.

So, I'm taking this into the Dream Status Report, I want to reflect on last week + plan next week from this intersection.

I have been in such an INTENSE period of inner growth lately and at the same time I've had pretty intense health problems - not something serious as in life threatening, and not something new, but something that is worse than it's ever been to the point I haven't been able to leave the house much for the last three weeks.

I kind of wonder if I triggered health problems with such intense inner stuff. Like my whole body needs to recalibrate.

Or, I am just getting older and a small health thing I've had my whole life may become more bothersome with age.

Either way - I am in a recalibration phase.

Recalibrating my relationship with myself, with my work, with WHO I want to be.

I re-did the Creative Dream Alchemy videos in the membership - the ones that explain how it works. I am also getting ready to offer that for free, along with the new You Are The Magic guide + journal.

I really love the new stuff, it feels more simple and clear. Actually navigating ALL of the inner and outer work you need to do to make a dream happen is anything but simple and clear, so it was a LOT of effort to try to create a simpler way of explaining it.

Actually, reflecting on this, I am emotionally and mentally exhausted from doing that. More than I realized.

As I filled in my Dream Status Report it became clear: I need much more DREAM WORK this week.

As I do the final Outer Work parts, I need deeper Dream Work to help me navigate it.

Dream Work can support Outer Work, like it can hold us so much deeper in the process that the Outer Work becomes less stressful.

Sometimes I can be all "Well this is easy enough, I just want to get in there and get it done" and then I can get all tangled up in my creative process.... and I'd be less tangled if I spent more time on Dream Work BEFORE going into the Outer Work.

That's what I want to carry with me this week.

Which is ALSO how I stay in that intersection of taking care of myself AND letting the world break my heart. Slow down a bit. Make more space for the SOUL of my dream which connects me to everything else.
